Method
- 1
Warm 1 teaspoon of avocado oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the cooked pinto beans, ground cumin, garlic powder, water, and half of the salt.
- 2
Simmer the beans for 4 to 5 minutes until hot and fragrant, mashing about half of them with the back of a fork to create a coarse, creamy texture, then remove from heat and cover.
- 3
Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl, season with the black pepper and the remaining salt, and whisk briskly for 1 minute until completely uniform and frothy.
- 4
Heat the remaining 2 teaspoons of avocado oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Pour in the eggs and cook gently for 3 to 4 minutes, using a silicone spatula to sweep wide, soft curds from the edges toward the center.
- 5
When the eggs are softly set but still glossy, scatter the shredded white cheddar cheese over the top and gently fold until melted, about 1 minute, then remove from the heat.
- 6
Warm the sprouted grain tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for 30 seconds on each side until soft and pliable.
- 7
Evenly distribute the simmered pinto beans and cheesy scrambled eggs across the warm tortillas, spoon the hot salsa over each taco, and serve immediately.
Cook a big batch of dried pinto beans earlier in the week so morning assembly takes mere minutes. If you have a ripe fresh avocado on your counter, slice it over the top right before serving.
